absolute best component you ever owned

craig: i might make book on the last clause of your post. permanent? cmon', you're gonna replace all your stuff eventually, unless you lose your interest, your livelihood or your heartbeat. you're an audiophile! (and i mean that in a nicest possible way.) ;~) -kelly

The only thing that remains a constant in my system are my Target Beta equipment stands. Never felt the need to upgrade or replace 'em!

My Dahlquist DQM9's which I have had for 15 years and they still blow away many newer brand speakers.

I write this with out any reservation to this day I have listened to a few speakers, as we all have, I'm sure. However, the SILVERLINE SONATA'S MKll are just INCREDIBLE,
the IMAGING and the RANGE of these speakers are just AMAZING.
From the Bottom all the way through to the top, these speakers will surprise you for the price. I have not heard another speaker in the same price range and up to $15000.00 that comes close. If you know of one, please let me know, I would live to hear it. Like after a great meal, there is always room for dessert!

My JSE Infinite Slope speakers. I had them for 12 years. They were just great. I tried the Joseph Audio's after them, because they use the same patent. Not even close.
